To develop medical school curriculum guidelines related to bioterrorism to ensure that future medical graduates are armed with the critical knowledge, skills, and attitudes to face this emerging threat.
An Internet-based Delphi survey was performed in 2002 under the auspices of the Association of Medical School Microbiology and Immunology Chairs involving 64 medical educators in microbiology, immunology, and infectious diseases representing 54 U.S. medical schools. A 12-member bioterrorism expert reference panel participated in the final phase of the survey.
Study participants identified the top educational objectives for the following bioterrorism-related curriculum categories: general issues, biodefense, public health, infection control, infectious diseases, and toxins.
The study focused on preparedness training through the development of curricular guidelines in predominantly preclerkship medical education by identifying basic science and clinical laboratory aspects of putative biologic weapons organisms and toxins, clinical manifestations of bioterrorist attacks, treatment strategies, epidemiology, and prophylaxis.
制定与生物恐怖主义相关的医学院课程指南，以确保未来的医学毕业生具备应对这一新兴威胁所需的关键知识、技能和态度。
2002年，在美国医学院微生物学和免疫学主席协会的主持下，进行了一项基于互联网的德尔菲调查，涉及来自54所美国医学院的64位微生物学、免疫学和传染病领域的医学教育工作者。一个由12名成员组成的生物恐怖主义专家参考小组参与了调查的最后阶段。
研究参与者确定了以下与生物恐怖主义相关课程类别的首要教育目标：一般问题、生物防御、公共卫生、感染控制、传染病和毒素。
该研究通过制定课程指南，主要在医学预科教育中侧重于应急准备培训，确定了假定生物武器病原体和毒素的基础科学和临床实验室方面、生物恐怖袭击的临床表现、治疗策略、流行病学和预防措施。
